I think muslims believe they are going to heaven as well because they earn it,many Christians believe they earned Heaven as well while others believe they simply RECITE a "sinners prayer" and get sprinkled with water & they are Saved......the repentant heart is open to Receive By Faith that Jesus Finished Work is more than enough to Redeem ..... Many are Called,few are chosen                                                                     With love-in Christ,Kwik

Actually muslims don't believe they can assure heaven by works.  The only way to be sure to go to heaven is to die in Jihad....    those who don't are just at the whim of Allah as to whether or not he decides to keep them or send them to hell.  Doing good works helps but if he's in a bad mood he may send you to hell anyway from what I have read in the Hadiths.   They can have no relationship with Allah at all so they never know how they stand.   They are in fear of hell their whole lives unless they find a way to die in Jihad.

but if you are saved......   you will naturally...     if you do not do the things Jesus told us and live the way he instructed, are you really saved?    There is nothing in the universe that any of us can do to be saved.....   but once we are we are expected to live like it.

That's another way of putting what I said in quotes .

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS.  IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU COULD EVER DO AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES.

 

 ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?

 There are some things that you should know: 

1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:

 

 Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

 Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

 This all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain which this world sees is the result of sin.

 2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross for you:

 Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

 Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. for us."

 Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Even if we lie one time, the punishment is hell, which is a prison for those who commit crimes against God.  That’s because you must be perfect in order to get to heaven. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already committed a sin which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the president can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die.

 3. If you will Admit to Jesus Christ that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior, Believe in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead and Accept Him as your Lord and Savior and you will be forgiven and taken to heaven to be with Him when you die.

 Joh 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name”

 Ro 10:9,10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.."

 You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus, believing in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins and placing your trust in Him. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven if they do these things, but the bible says that there is only one way to heaven and that is through receiving what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you.

 Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die.

 DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD FOR YOUR SINS?

 ARE YOU WILLING TO TURN TO JESUS CHRIST FOR SALVATION?

 4. If you are willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe it with all of your heart, you could pray something like this to God from your heart:

 "Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that You died on the Cross and Rose from the dead for my sins. I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins, save me, take me to be with You when I die. I now receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me.  In Jesus holy name, Amen."

 If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven. 

 Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism. 

This I think would be a great post in a forum that isn't full of Christians.

Of That

I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! Job 19:25-27 (New International Version)

I Have No Doubt

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24 (English Standard Version)

~

Be Blessed Beloved Of The KING

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27 (King James Bible)

Love, Your Brother Joe

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Psalms 119:160 (King James Bible)

The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.

It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword and the Christian’s charter. Here too, Heaven is opened and the gates of Hell disclosed.

Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully.  It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.

It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.

    Yes,true...I do know that and it is very very sad that so many of these people live their entire lives living with such uncertainty,it is no wonder they often will take extreme measures(at the expense of innocent lives) to try & ensure themselves a ticket to heaven.......

   We've also heard of cults who who believed they could earn their way to heaven  & committed terrible acts too,deception leads to unGodly living,unGodly acts .....mass suicides thinking they were martyrs......such a pity      In any event,the devil is a liar and the only way to overcome deception is with Gods Timeless Truth......which is the Word of God.....Jesus is the Word,the Way,the Truth & the Life       Praise Jesus!      With love-in Christ,Kwik

it is not even out of gratitude......   it's just the natural flow of life from a saved person.

I'm not too sure if I'm going to go to heaven when I die or if I'm going to wait in the grave until the day of Resurrection.  And seeing that the dead no nothing, my body will become a heap of bones after the decay has eaten up my inwards.  How I will go to heaven when I die, I am not sure.  But I do know that on the Day of Resurrection, or The Last Day, my body will rise from out of the grave, if I had died by that time..    I can not see the Day of Resurrection as being an every day occurence since the day Christ rose and ascended on High.
